Anyone have real world experience running this brand of tire?

Got these #BrandNewUsed $500 for all four. Was a bargain and super budget friendly to start off my build especially for what we have to fork out for aftermarket anything here in the islands. Since there's little known and/or advertised about this brand I guess I can share some of my thoughts here.

Nice beefy tire/treads, rides as any typical MT does, hum is very audible but not obnoxious driving on normal pavement (at least for me), nice aggressive sidewall, and up on highway speed rides fairly smoothly. Have not taken them offroading yet but will soon...

Have put on just over 5K since upgrading to these tires. They have held up well in the gravel/sandy terrain I've offroaded on. Hasn't rained much so have no real world reaction to how these perform in that condition. Won't get any snow feedback from me. Unfortunately regardless of what they "advertise" in strength and toughness, my rear passenger tire succumbed to a 1 1/2" screw. They've worn considerably in such a short time but for $500 with 95% tread (used), for now isn't of concern for me. The initial rough ride has improved with the even wear. Again not that audible of a M/T which was one of my concerns when settling for these tires. If anyone else out there has more real world experience, please chime in. Salamat!

Guess I'm an audience of 1. It's almost 2 years on this setup, pushing 40k miles on them and I've enjoyed them offroad and as a daily with roughly 50 mile round trip every day. It has rained considerably around here and must admit was weary how this MT would perform but can report no spinning of the tires, no fishtailing, and no hydroplaning going roughly 65 on the freeway. In the works but hoping to land a sponsorship with Delinte on a new set soon. For an audience of 1, these DZ-9s get a 9 out 10 from me.

Hope you get the sponsorship. Ive been keeping track of some Armstrong MTs I decided to take a chance on. The way I look at it is that the people that need the review probably arent going to be the ones that reply to your thread. It will be the guys searching on google.

Keep up with the details. Someone will definitely use them.

You got a great deal and seem to be very happy. Perfect ending 👌
I think that the lack of response is simply the 20" wheel and off roading where more sidewall is a good thing. The truck looks great!
